    cant seem to find an ABS scan tool for a 2002 grand prix.....all of them skip the 2002 and jump to the 2004. Anyone have an idea or a link of one that is compatible with my car?

    I can't remember why but I have a scan tool and it won't read the ABS on a 2002 or 2003 Grand Prix. Someone I thought said even the Tech 2 won't read ABS on a 2002 Grand Prix. Not sure why though. I wonder if it has something to do with the module for the ABS?

    Tech II ought to do it, though I can't say I've ever tried. Should be the same hardware everyone else has.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I cant believe how much some of them are. The funny thing is OTC sells one that covers most domestic abs, airbag, and obd 2 for $107!! The problem is it wont cover 2001-2003 grand prix. different software I guess.
